*

My life was one of hope. Parents hoped my life would be successful in education, the work place and in motherhood, but accidents happen. 26 years in a wheelchair I lived with hope in my heart. I now walk following surgery making the most of every day. 

*

I Had A Dream.

Hope when the world

Laughs with me?

Thinking wise thoughts

Should I do this?

Wear a smile when my 

Heart, aches inside.

There is always hope

Comfort, when one feels

Lost.

Along the pathway of life.

Feelings of I had a dream

To follow, with love.
